Businesses today are up against a rising tide of threats. Cybersecurity threats and data espionage are more prevalent than at any other point in our history – contributing to an anticipated $2 billion loss due to ransomware this year. What is scarier is malicious attacks are no longer limited to hackers; Ransomware-as-a-Service kits can be purchased for a mere $39 by anyone with low moral standards and a desire to generate a few dollars. Acronis has turned the world upside down. Not only have they delivered an innovative protection that any size business can easily use, but also an active protection against ransomware attacks with instant recovery of the affected data.
